# About Library Catalogues

A Library Catalogue is a subsection of the Parent Library. The Catalogue contains a list of collections, which themselves contain the items within the library.

This structure allows you to easily search items and manage the permissions to access items.

For example: The **Toy Library** may have the following Catalogues:

- 0-2 years
- 2-4 years
- 4-6 years
- 5-8 years

When adding or editing a catalogue, you are able to give permission to individuals or groups to access one or more catalogues.

In this example you could give the group **Preschool Staff** permission to view and process items in the **0 - 2 years** toy catalogue but not give them access to the **4 - 6 years** toy catalogue.
